A represents two similar frames which are connected together by a hingeor hinges B. The hinge pivot-pin L has a loop-shaped bail C pivoted onits end portions, and this bail forms a handle for lifting the holderand moving it from place to place and also for suspending' it from anyconvenient support. This bail may be made of wire, or it may be a chainor cord. The opposite ends ofthe holder from the hinges are providedwith shallow troughs D, and these troughs D are adapted to hold liquidand come at the bottom ot' the holder when in its raised position, asshown in Fig. l.

Then the holder is used to support sticky tly-paper, the sticky coatingwhich slides oil the paper, the dead ilies, and other objects are caughtin the troughs D.

A hook e or other equivalent locking device is pivoted to one Vframe andengages with an eye 2" on the other trame, so that the two frames can belocked together in their raised position.

F represents locking devices for locking the two frames together whenspread out, so that they can be suspended by the bail. Slidablelockingbolts f/ may be used `for this purpose, which are carried by one'frame and which engage with eyes /L on the other frame; butany otherVapproved locking devices may be used.
